I heard a guy from Florida is interested. Lol. 

Steve Spurrier is a TN native. I like your thinking. 

Any rumors on who might be our new coach? 

You got a good one. My son hasn't played in ten years but he still stays in touch with coach Hodge. Good luck Rebs. Hope you win every game but 1. lol

Congratulations Rebs and Hodge! You just gained a few new fans.

Hodge has messaged underclassmen saying his good byes. Dresden will struggle next year or two but there is a lot of talent from middle school to high school coming up. Hope they give the job to Ben Carter. Young coach with alot of upside.

I figured you knew he messaged the team but like I said I have no insight into the team anymore. Guess I'll have to play in the Rebel football fund raiser at that terrible golf course in McKenzie. lol

I have no idea but when Sherdog mentioned it I assumed it could be Hodge. Makes sense really, it's closer to his home, Rebels are loaded again. Dresden will have a big drop off for a few years from what I'm hearing. But honestly, I really don't know anymore. My closest family in Dresden are in middle school so I'm way out of the loop.

More reason to hate McKenzie!!

Hodge might look good in red & gray

I'd like to see what Noah from Gleason would do with the continual talent that McKenzie always has. But I also don't see him ever leaving Gleason. Good luck with the search. 

Did not see Comer leaving. Milan got a good one and McKenzie is still loaded. Good job opening for sure. Leave Hodge alone!!!!!

Merry Christmas to all you coach T knuckleheads!!! May God bless each and every one of you.

Great game to listen to @VOLnWTN! Great season for both teams. Congrats to SP on the win. Congrats to McKenzie on another amazing season. No doubt these were the best two teams in the state in 1A. 

Good luck to both teams. Hoping for a great game that's injury free on both sides. Go Rebs!

Go river rats!!!

Come over to the Orange & Black side.

All are welcome.

I'll have to stick with the Rebs just because they are west side of the state. Thanks for the offer though. Much respect for SP with what they continually do each and every year! 

Go neighbors!!!!

It's not sand bagging this time. I don't know the extent of the injury, and I am sure that if he can stand on one foot then he will do whatever he can to be in the game.  But the guy owns nearly every passing record in school history plus is one of our top rushers. So, his injury is a game changer.

And one of our top defenders went out late as well. If he's hurt, then that will be huge as well. 

I do understand what you are saying about the mind games in the past, but this time it is real.

Sorry to hear about the injuries. 

Go Rebs! Don’t get sucked into the SP mind games. They thrive on the underdog role. West TN pole has SP a 14 point favorite on McKenzie. 

Congrats Rebels!! Good season Lions.  Bring the gold back to west TN

SP not even Top 5 according to most west posters….. always so so much better than east. Wait, seems like I’ve heard that more than once.

I can promise you this poster hasn’t said SP isn’t a top 5 team. Either team from the west knows the east team will be ready to battle. Should be a good game tonight and the championship.

I think Dresden will win. They are the best team to play since the 2016 Dresden team. Dresden has the top 2 teams in 1a in the last 20 years apparently. 

Not sure about all that. 2016 was the best team that year. This year is yet to be determined, hopefully we can say we were the best team in 1A this year. That's still two games away though. 

Game day Lions!!! Keep the train rolling. Hoping for an injury free game. Whoever get the win bring the gold west!!

All football talk aside,  Happy Thanksgiving to all! Football is secondary to family and friends!  

Good point. Hope everyone has a blessed day!!

In the West, in recent years the 2 UC teams were more dominant and the LC team from a few years back would have rolled on that Dresden squad. There have been many S Pitt teams that would have given any powerhouse in any classification trouble.

I would have loved to see the 2A Dresden team that made the championship game play the 2016 Dresden team. But it's never going to happen just like the greatest team of all time debate. Enjoy great teams in 1 & 2A because they don't come around that often. Which is what makes the MeKenzie, Trenton and UC teams of late that much more impressive. LC teams of the past are really impressive with the school size. 

I've seen SP walk away with gold several times when they aren't suppose to have a chance. I would leave that talk for the championship game. I'm worried about this Friday.
